== Project candidates ==

A list of projects potential participants might contribute within GSoC program. Every project is shortly described with mentioning secondary skills for possible participants (the primal skill is desire to do something useful).

'''Note:''' Potential mentors, please feel free to add ideas to this list. Also, feel free to add your name to a project you'd be willing to co-mentor.

'''Note:''' Potential students, more project ideas can be found on our [[Features]] page.

{{TOCright}}

=== Turtle Art Nutrition ===

Working with the maintainer of [[Activities/TurtleArt|Turtle Blocks]] to further develop the prototype [[Activities/TurtleArt#Nutrition|Turtle Nutrition plug-in]] into a stand-alone activity. In its current state, Turtle Nutrition is a plug-in to the Turtle Blocks application. The plug-in aims to raise awareness of nutritional values through visual programming elements.

This project will involve more designing and testing than coding. But a working knowledge of Python is a must. Spanish-language skills is a plus, as we will most likely be testing the tool in one of our Latin American deployments.

=== Portfolio Videos ===

Working with the maintainer of [[Activities/Portfolio|Portfolio]] to add a mechanism for exporting .ogv (voice over still images) of a portfolio presentation. This is a request that has come from deployments: they'd like to be able to post videos of student work, which is currently available as a slide show with audio voice-over.

[[File:Portfolio-Tool.png|300px]]

A working knowlewdge of Python and some gstreamer skills are a must.

=== Unified Journal View ===

Rather than viewing the details of a Journal entry on a separate page, the idea is to make the details appear in an expandabe in-line format on the main Journal view. The look and feel would be more like Google+ or Facebook. Performance will be a major challenge.

[[File:Journal-02.jpeg|300px]]

This project requires some working knowledge of the low-level Sugar Journal and datastore code.

=== Sugar "Sweets" Trisquel GNU/Linux Distro ===

What we need to get Sugar into classrooms and community centers is a software distribution that works "out of the box" with both Sugar and Gnome. The Trisquel GNU/Linux distribution is the most promising of the efforts to make this a reality. I'd like to pilot it in my ICT lab in Arlington, Virginia, and would love to mentor a GSOCer to hack the packages needed to make it work.

=== Background Image on Home View ===

Since we are replacing Hippo, it is relatively trivial to add a background image to the Home View. The image could be set from the Sugar control panel.

Benefit: Deployments could customize backgrounds for l12n purposes. Uses could customize the look of their machines. Background could add some structure to the Home View. The example below, just for fun, was generated in Turtle Art.

[[File:Background-spiral.png|300px]]

Decent Python skills required and some familiarity with GTK.

''Contact'': [[User:Walter]]

=== Multi-touch Sugar ===

With the advent of a number touch-enabled devices capable of running Sugar and with the port to GTK-3, it is time to take seriously the issue of multitouch. How should we be exploiting touch in the interface? How will be circumvent some of the current UI affordances that either reply on the keyboard or hover, e.g., invoking the Sugar Frame?

Strong Python skills and experience with GTK-3 required.

=== Plugin Support ===

A number of activities, notably [[Activities/TurtleArt#Plugins|Turtle Art]], are supporting plugins -- the ability to extend features by downloading additional modules. However, [[Activities/TurtleArt#How_to_install_a_plugin|the mechanism for installing plugins]] is anything but friendly. It would be nice to design a uniform plugin bundle type and modify the activity installer to recognize this new type. Caveats include dependencies -- presumably the plugin would take care of that -- and version control -- plugins are often incumbent upon a specific version of an activity. [http://activities.sugarlabs.org ASLO hosting]] should also be considered.

Strong Python skills and experience with Sugar toolkit required.

''Contact'': [[User:Walter]]

=== End-user Modifications of Sugar Source ===

We have an existing mechanism for duplicating and modifying Sugar activities: a copy of the bundle can be creaed in ~/Activities, where it can be modified by the end user. We also have a mechanism for viewing the Sugar toolkit source, but no such convenient way for making changes without risking messing up the system. While it should be easy enough to make a duplicate copy in the user's home directory, and to change the Python paths to use the modified code, we need some mechanism -- presumably at boot -- to choose which version to run: the installed version or the modified version.

Strong Python skills and experience with Sugar toolkit required.

=== Project Sharing Website ===
Create a Project Hosting Site similar to the Scratch website where kids can share the projects they have created using various Sugar Activities. The site should foster collaboration and sharing of projects. The Web Site should be built using a free web framework so that it can be installed at deployment sites. Some features include:

* Ability to engage and connect with friends and classmates using various Social Networking sites/techniques.
* Ability to post projects from various Sugar Activities (ex: Turtle Blocks, Etoys, Memorize, Physics, etc.)
* Separate landing pages for different audiences (kids, teachers, parents, etc)
* Section to share kid created art from projects
* Ability for users to create galleries (of their own projects, favorite projects, subject specific topics, etc).
* Ability to have “private classroom spaces”
* Tools to support community management of the site
* Multi-language support

=== Sugar as a Service Website ===
Create a Site for managing multiple "Sugar in a Browser" sessions like [https://one.treehouse.su/gar treehouse] or [http://cscott.net/junk/ta-broadway.png broadway gnome]
Some features include:
* Ability of integration of [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp Chrome Remote Desktop]
* Ability to share or to allow other user watch this session
* Ability to scale the infrastructure onto local (virtualbox}, private (kvm) and other public clouds (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG, http://xvm.mit.edu/ or http://cloud.ubuntu.com/)

=== Learn to program -- in Turtle Art ===

In much the same way that [http://www.codecademy.com/courses/programming-intro/0#!/exercises/0] walks newbies through the basics of programming in Javascript, it would be nice to walk newbies through the basics of Turtle Art. There is already a provision within Turtle Art for programatically creating and moving blocks and executing program stacks. So it would be a matter of developing the exercises.

Requires some familiarity with Logo programming and Python.

=== Implement collaboration in Paint Activity ===

Paint Activity does not implement collaboration yet. The easy part is send the mouse positions and draw in the different machines, but you need have the status of the different tools used, copy/paste operations and undo/redo. Another task to do is port the graphics operations to cairo.

Requires familiarity with Python.

''Contact'': [[User:Godiard]]

=== Implement a presentation mode in Fototoon ===

Fototoon allow the user to work with all the boxes in the same screen, but should be good have a view to edit one box using the full screen.
We need implement a way to display the comic created one box after another, maybe adding sound saved for every box.
The presentation can be saved in a pdf, one box by page or exported as a video.

Requires familiarity with Python.

''Contact'': [[User:Godiard]]

=== Implement a robotics plugin for Turtle Art ===

Numerous efforts have been made to made a robotics plugin for TA,
but these are not yet completed and rely upon specific platforms,
a new plugin is needed that recognize different platforms like Arduino, Lego nxt. Lego WeDo and Butia. As this work is only for the summer I'll recommend that the plugin only supports Arduino and some Lego robotics family, The main improvement is that the plugin is fully functional, and could be integrated to upstream TA.

=== Implement help mechanism for activities using Mallard ===

[http://projectmallard.org/ Mallard] is a markup language that makes it easy to provide user help. It would be a nice feature to add Mallard-like help to activities, accessed through a mechanism similar to the view source mechanism. We need to sort through two issues: integration into Sugar and intergration into out i18n system.

''Contact'': [[User:Walter]]

===Tam Tam For SoaS===

Develop a cross-platform version of Tam Tam Mini that will work with SoaS on most, if not all, PCs and Intel Macs. Start with Tam Tam Mini to solve the problems (mostly sound) and add the other three Tam Tam Activities if time permits.

== Proposals Template ==

Put and fill your proposal template at a page like:

'''http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2012/YourProposal'''

====About you====

* '''What is your name?'''
* '''What is your email address?'''
* '''What is your Sugar Labs wiki username?'''
* '''What is your IRC nickname?'''
* '''What is your primary language? (We have mentors who speak multiple languages and can match you with one of them if you'd prefer.)'''
* '''Where are you located, and what hours do you tend to work? (We also try to match mentors by general time zone if possible.)'''
* '''Have you participated in an open-source project before? If so, please send us URLs to your profile pages for those projects, or some other demonstration of the work that you have done in open-source. If not, why do you want to work on an open-source project this summer?'''

====About your project====

* '''What is the name of your project?'''
* '''Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it? What technologies (programming languages, etc.) will you be using?'''

* '''What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 21 - August 13; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 9-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.'''

* '''Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.'''

====You and the community====
* '''If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.'''

* '''What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?'''
* '''How do you propose you will be keeping the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?'''

====Miscellaneous====
* '''We want to make sure that you can set up a [[Development Team#Development_systems|development environment]] before the summer starts. Please send us a link to a screenshot of your Sugar development environment with the following modification: when you hover over the XO-person icon in the middle of Home view, the drop-down text should have your email in place of "Restart." See the image on the right for an example. It's normal to need assistance with this, so please visit our IRC channel, #sugar on irc.freenode.net, and ask for help.'''

* '''What is your t-shirt size? (Yes, we know Google asks for this already; humor us.)'''

* '''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''

* '''Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know that might make us like you or your project more?'''

= Information written during the organization of the summit =

This page is for planning the EduJAM! summit in Uruguay May 5th to 7th 2011.

'''Don't forget the [[Conozco Uruguay Tour|pre-summit tour Apr 30 - May 5,]] as well as post-summit codesprint May 8/9 onwards -- dates are final but details are evolving!'''

== Main goals ==
* '''Focus on developers'''. It does not mean at all we're not concerned about educational aspects, but as a developers community we have huge challenges and the summit will be more of a working instance than a "reflection" instance.
* '''Exceed OLPC and Sugar'''. The developers community goes beyond OLPC and Sugar, and this could be a good instance for bringing "non-olpc organizations" to the conversation.
* '''Focus on South America'''. Bring as many south american developers as possible to Uruguay.

== Program ==
A first sketch of the event (''preliminary,'' [http://ceibaljam.org/drupal/?q=node/1127 see also update here!]) is as follows:
Program committee:
* Andrés Ambrois
* Walter Bender
* Gabriel Eirea
* Pablo Flores
* Gonzalo Odiard
* Fernando Sansberro

== Pre-Summit "Conozco Uruguay" Exploration Tour ==
We're organizing a set of in-person activities for those who want to know more about the Uruguayan/Ceibal experience, visiting different points of the country, meeting with families, teachers, etc.

This will happen during the 5-6 days prior to the summit (from Saturday April 30th to Thursday May 5th) for independent and resilient travelers, committed to "anthropological" learning through patient exploration -- [[Conozco Uruguay Tour|details are emerging here!]]

== Attendees ==
Attendees and possible attendees list in: http://ceibaljam.org/drupal/?q=node/1108<br>
If you want to attend, please write us: edujam2011@ceibaljam.org

Including Volunteer Organizers: Martín Abente, Walter Bender, Gabriel Eirea, David Farning, Pablo Flores, [[user:Holt|Adam Holt]], Bernie Innocenti, Aleksey Lim, Anish Mangal, Gonzalo Odiard, [[user:aa|Andrés Ambrois]]

== Accommodation ==
We'll put here some information about possible places for staying. At the same time we'll make a volunteers hosting program, so Uruguayan volunteers can host some of the attendees. More information soon.

Uruguay (generally) uses [http://treehouse.ofb.net/go/en/voltage/Uruguay 220V European] [http://www.adaptelec.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products_id=252 electrical outlets] so please consider bringing a small converter.

Wifi access will be sought where possible, but not guaranteed.

== Registration ==
[http://ceibaljam.org/drupal/?q=edujam2011_en Registration is now Open!]

As explained therein, pricing is $100, with confirmed volunteers/students paying $30 or $10. Attendance will likely be limited to about 100 attendees maximum.

Flight prices will rise, so we strongly encourage you to book your flight to Montevideo (MVD) & register today!

== Uruguay ==

Visas are [http://worldtravelguide.net/uruguay/passport-visa not required] for most US, Canada, Europe, Australia citizens.

Direct flights to Montevideo (Carrasco Airport) from:
* US: Miami
* Europe: Madrid
* Most of South America
* Nearby hubs: Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Santiago
There are also nice ferries from Buenos Aires: http://www.buquebus.com/

An airport departure tax of $30+ may be charged upon leaving Uruguay, if not pre-paid within your flight ticket.

Touristic information: http://www.turismo.gub.uy

= Information written during the organization of the summit =

This page is for planning the EduJAM! summit in Uruguay May 5th to 7th 2011.

'''Don't forget the [[Conozco Uruguay Tour|pre-summit tour Apr 30 - May 5,]] as well as post-summit codesprint May 8/9 onwards -- dates are final but details are evolving!'''

== Main goals ==
* '''Focus on developers'''. It does not mean at all we're not concerned about educational aspects, but as a developers community we have huge challenges and the summit will be more of a working instance than a "reflection" instance.
* '''Exceed OLPC and Sugar'''. The developers community goes beyond OLPC and Sugar, and this could be a good instance for bringing "non-olpc organizations" to the conversation.
* '''Focus on South America'''. Bring as many south american developers as possible to Uruguay.

== Program ==
A first sketch of the event (''preliminary,'' [http://ceibaljam.org/drupal/?q=node/1127 see also update here!]) is as follows:
Program committee:
* Andrés Ambrois
* Walter Bender
* Gabriel Eirea
* Pablo Flores
* Gonzalo Odiard
* Fernando Sansberro

== Pre-Summit "Conozco Uruguay" Exploration Tour ==
We're organizing a set of in-person activities for those who want to know more about the Uruguayan/Ceibal experience, visiting different points of the country, meeting with families, teachers, etc.

This will happen during the 5-6 days prior to the summit (from Saturday April 30th to Thursday May 5th) for independent and resilient travelers, committed to "anthropological" learning through patient exploration -- [[Conozco Uruguay Tour|details are emerging here!]]

== Attendees ==
Attendees and possible attendees list in: http://ceibaljam.org/drupal/?q=node/1108<br>
If you want to attend, please write us: edujam2011@ceibaljam.org

Including Volunteer Organizers: Martín Abente, Walter Bender, Gabriel Eirea, David Farning, Pablo Flores, [[user:Holt|Adam Holt]], Bernie Innocenti, Aleksey Lim, Anish Mangal, Gonzalo Odiard, [[user:aa|Andrés Ambrois]]

== Accommodation ==
We'll put here some information about possible places for staying. At the same time we'll make a volunteers hosting program, so Uruguayan volunteers can host some of the attendees. More information soon.

Uruguay (generally) uses [http://treehouse.ofb.net/go/en/voltage/Uruguay 220V European] [http://www.adaptelec.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products_id=252 electrical outlets] so please consider bringing a small converter.

Wifi access will be sought where possible, but not guaranteed.

== Registration ==
[http://ceibaljam.org/drupal/?q=edujam2011_en Registration is now Open!]

As explained therein, pricing is $100, with confirmed volunteers/students paying $30 or $10. Attendance will likely be limited to about 100 attendees maximum.

Flight prices will rise, so we strongly encourage you to book your flight to Montevideo (MVD) & register today!

== Uruguay ==

Visas are [http://worldtravelguide.net/uruguay/passport-visa not required] for most US, Canada, Europe, Australia citizens.

Direct flights to Montevideo (Carrasco Airport) from:
* US: Miami
* Europe: Madrid
* Most of South America
* Nearby hubs: Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Santiago
There are also nice ferries from Buenos Aires: http://www.buquebus.com/

An airport departure tax of $30+ may be charged upon leaving Uruguay, if not pre-paid within your flight ticket.

Touristic information: http://www.turismo.gub.uy

Don't forget to register for "Conozco Uruguay", our [[Conozco Uruguay Tour|pre-summit eduTRIP!]] (Saturday April 30 - Thursday May 5)

==Discussion==

Caryl Bigenho has posted some really great suggestions & topics on the [[Talk:Uruguay_Summit_2011|Talk Page]] -- eg. she started with "fun" activities for teachers, students, and parents to participate in alongside software architects -- please join her to [[Talk:Uruguay_Summit_2011|share your own ideas, for things you'd like to do at EduJAM!]]

'''this is a draft'''

===Introduction===

This constitutes the report of the SoaS decision panel (DP), [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008746.html convened by SLOB].

The structure of this report is:

# Introduction (this section)
# Executive Summary
# Mandate
# Members
# Report on Questions 1-3
# Conclusion
# Appendices

===Executive Summary===

The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions. The Decision Panel's answers are below:

Question 1: "Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?"

Answer: No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor but 1) many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and 2) an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs' members plans.

Question 2: "Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?"

Answer: No. Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.

Question 3: "Should 'Sugar on a Stick' be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?"

Answer: Yes.

In addition, [[#Mandate|the mandate]] allows the Decision Panel to raise and answer any other question the DP deems required to provide an answer to the original question: "Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?" (Question 0).

The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions.

====Further ideas====

=====Potential naming conventions=====
* Sugar4CD/PC/F11 (Sugar, version 4, made for liveCD, runs on PCs, Fedora11 based) - example from Caryl Bigenho <cbigenho@hotmail.com>
* There has been much talk of whether we should name with different foods and animals. Types of sugar (sucrose, glucose) has been suggested due to its link to sustainability of life.
There still seems to be much sense in keeping it simple with SoaS keeping one name with a version release number and corresponding release name.
* Perhaps including the type of media in the name could be helpful, but with "sugar" themes. For example SD versions could be "Sugar Cookies," Live CD versions could be "Sugar Pies." That would make the above example "SugarPie4/PC/F11"(also from Caryl Bigenho)

===Executive Summary===

The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions. The Decision Panel's answers are below:

Question 1: "Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?"

Answer: No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor but 1) many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and 2) an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs' members plans.

Question 2: "Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?"

Answer: No. Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.

Question 3: "Should 'Sugar on a Stick' be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?"

Answer: Yes.

In addition, [[#Mandate|the mandate]] allows the Decision Panel to raise and answer any other question the DP deems required to provide an answer to the original question: "Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?" (Question 0).

The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions.

Marketing Team/Stickers

2009-01-31T00:56:17Z

CBigenho: /* I want stickers */

After an extended mailing list discussion, Greg and I are going to put our money where our mouth is. He needs stickers for FOSDEM. I want stickers to spread happily through Boston. We are both plonking down some cash. I am placing a print order in 48 hours from this timestamp: [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 15:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I need a design to print, preferably in the form of a witty sticker design. By default I'll grab something from http://sugarlabs.org/go/MarketingTeam/Logo and run, but I'll be tearing around Wellington and the internet trying to get help to make this snazzier.

If you also want stickers, you've got 48 hours to tell me how many you want to add to the print run and give me a way to get them to you (bus and/or plane tickets preferred, but self-addressed-stamped-envelopes acceptable ;) We may not get all the requests in this time, but we'll post images and such so folks can make a second run themselves. Stickers are cheap (see http://www.stickergiant.com/custom_stickers/ and similar sites).

== I want stickers ==

* [[User:Gdk]] - for FOSDEM, via [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] (will post numbers later)
* [[User:Mchua]] - for Boston-area groups and deployments (will post numbers later, but thinking ~500)
* [[User:Caryl]] - for SCaLE in LA Feb 20-22 (haven't a clue -500?). Can send SASE, better via Mchua
